The elegantly proportioned, three-way floorstanding Amerigo introduces design innovations that are unique to this loudspeaker, including the aptly-named Air Drive bass-loading enclosure for extended low-frequency response and improved efficiency.

Amerigo offers true full-range, extremely high-quality sound in rooms where space or other considerations require the use of a speaker with a smaller footprint—while achieving bass definition, integration with the midrange, and treble and tonal accuracy, for natural, evenly-balanced yet articulate sound.

The Air Drive construction employs three separate internal chambers that spread the internal resonance over a variety of frequencies, while controlling the impedance curve that the speaker presents to the amplifier.

A conventional ported speaker typically has one resonance point, creating a large impedance dip. This affects not only the load presented to the amplifier, but causes a frequency response peak at the resonant frequency, which can adversely affect tonal neutrality.

The Amerigo’s three internal chambers create three flatter impedance dips, presenting easier-to-drive loads to the amplifier, thus evening out the frequency response. One of the impedance peaks dips at the low bass frequencies, so more amplifier current and better low-frequency drive is available in the deep bass.

This new type of tuning tightly controls the excursion of the woofers, which move less than in conventional designs. What the listener actually hears is not the woofer cones moving, but the air mass of the loading, hence the name Air Drive. To further refine its performance, the Amerigo’s crossover network includes a proprietary DC circuit that compensates for baffle diffraction and baffle step effects. The Amerigo delivers a surprising amount of bass from a modestly proportioned enclosure with an articulate midrange, exceptionally detailed highs, and a smooth, natural tonal balance with extraordinary clarity.
